Some examples of specialized plant cells include: Parenchyma Cells; Parenchyma cells are usually depicted as the "typical" plant cell because they are not very specialized. These cells synthesize and store organic products in the plant. ... Collenchyma Cells; Collenchyma cells have a support function in plants,

Parenchyma is the most common plant tissue. It is relatively unspecialized and makes up a substantial part of the volume of a herbaceous plant and of the leaves, flowers and the fruits of woody plants. ... the most important function of the parenchyma cells of roots and stem is the storage of food (e.g. starch) and water,

The bamboo, woody monocot, has two types of parenchyma cells in the ground tissues of its culm, in contrast to a single type of parenchyma cell in rice, maize and other major crop species. ... Based on this evidence, the differences of function in both short and long parenchyma cells in a bamboo culm are discussed.

The entire function of the parenchyma seems often to be in the filling of the gaps between more specialized cells. This is expressed by the term ground tissue, which means the mass of cells into which more specialized cells, like vascular tissues or seeds are imbedded.

Over and above the wood may hold a high proportion of xylem fibres and parenchyma cells (the latter constitutes up to 23 percent of all xylem elements). The organization of rays varies also, they include almost only parenchyma cells, ... This may also lead to filling and subsequent loss of function of neighbouring cells.

A generalized plant cell type, parenchyma cells are alive at maturity. They function in storage, photosynthesis, and as the bulk of ground and vascular tissues. Palisade parenchyma cells are elogated cells located in many leaves just below the epidermal tissue.
